Engineering Physics certificate undergraduate in Europe

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Engineering Physics certificates or programs are available across various universities in Europe, notably including the University of Oldenburg in Germany. These programs typically combine core physics knowledge with engineering principles, and their curricula can differ significantly between institutions and countries. For instance, some programs emphasize electrical engineering with a focus on semiconductor physics, while others prioritize physics with supplementary engineering courses. In Sweden, a significant number of PhD candidates in physics hold an MSc in Engineering Physics, indicating the program's relevance for advanced studies.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Engineering Physics concepts
  • Familiarity with BSc and MSc program structures
  • Knowledge of semiconductor physics and photonics
  • Awareness of PhD pathways in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research specific Engineering Physics programs at European universities
  • Explore the curriculum differences between Engineering Physics and Electrical Engineering
  • Investigate the role of Engineering Physics in pursuing a PhD in experimental physics
  • Utilize resources like BachelorsPortal.com to find relevant undergraduate programs
USEFUL FOR

Undergraduate students in engineering or physics, academic advisors, and anyone interested in pursuing advanced studies in Engineering Physics or related fields.

Is there any such certificate or something even remotely like this awarded and recognised in Europe to undergrads who do, say, chemical engineering but want to show they have some core physics knowledge as well?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
The University of Oldenburg in Germany offers an undergraduate program in Engineering Physics if that's what you mean. Anyway, this is just an example as there are similar programs offered by different universities in Europe. I suggest using this website: https://www.bachelorsportal.com/
 
I'm not sure what you mean by "certificate". There are many universities in Europe that offer BSc/MScs programs in Engineering Physics. The curriculum can vary a LOT between countries and even different universities; at some universities it is essentially an electrical engineering program with extra physics (focusing on e.g. semiconductor physics of photonics), and in other places it is physics with a lot of extra engineering courses (mainly EE) which tend to come in very handy if you want to pursue a PhD in experimental physics. In Sweden (where I studied) many (perhaps most) people who go on to get a PhD in physics have an MSc in Engineering physics (and this includes people who go on to do a theory PhD in say string theory)
